So glad I watched this. I almost didn’t realize I ordered the non hotswappable version. Got it returned and the hot swap board shows up tomorrow, thank you!
I have a Keychron K8 and it’s actually great for modding if you get the hot swap version. So I’m sure the same would apply to the K2. It’s decent out of the box, but most Keychron keyboards (minus the slim variants) are very mod-friendly and can greatly benefit from some customizing. Always recommend Keychron to ppl who are looking to experiment with keyboards.
Ironically I bought my K2v2 (hotswap) with the purpose of modding: case foam mod, plate foam mod, tempest mod, durock plate mount stabs clipped lubed, gazzew boba u4t lubed, akko black/pink asa keycaps. Fairly happy with the results
This is me being shallow, But I find it frustrating they only have this one color combination. I’m personally not a fan of it and I’d prefer a plain white one like the RK84. I will hand it to them the color combo is iconic to them now.
Good morning, I watched your video, it’s really fantastic! I had a question what is the length of the cable for the connection. Thank you for answering me. Sincerely,
I just got the ABS version of this with Gateron Brown pre lubed. Wow this also feels so solid, next to my Logitech G513 it feels premium, the pre lubed Gateron Browns are easily the best switches I've used, a real pleasure to use. Pity the cable wasn't on the rear but it's only a minor thing for me, I've yet to try it with Bluetooth connection, I may just use that.
Nice video! Can you elaborate more on how much better the k2 feels vs the rk84. You said it feels better but didn’t explain in what way. Will be making a purchase base in your answer lol. Also what’s better the 2.4 ghz of the rk84 in term of latency or the Bluetooth connection of the k2? In term of gaming as well! Thank you.
2.4 ghz is better than Bluetooth as it's less being affected by the environment than Bluetooth, also 2.4 ghz require to use via a USB dongle so the connection will be consistently more than Bluetooth.
@@al98708 hyper x have some black and white key caps. Those are the one I use, and they are 500% better, also I have 599 subs if you want to be the 600
U said this keyboards gonna be used mainly by typists and not gamers, I wanna game on it, is it good for that? Love your vids btw, they’re very informative
This would be perfectly fine to game on IF you use it in wired mode. Bluetooth connection would not be good for gaming due to the max polling rate. Hope this helps!
I think keychron released a hotswap version of the k2v2! I had to decide between the k2 and the RK84 but ultimately went with the RK for better portability.
I made the mistake of buying a Keychron K7. What I received was NOT wireless (no dongle included) and, when connected by USB cable, many keys did not work. Keychron ignored all my requests for an RMA and a refund. Before buying anything from Keychron, think! Do you want to give your money to a company that treats its customers this way?
I'm having a hard time choosing between the Keychron K2 v2 or the RC84 or RK84. I don't really care about wireless, but I do want per key RGB, is it true that the K2 still doesn't have per key RGB, meaning that you can't assign colors to each key independently? Question #2, If you had to choose between the RC84 or the RK84 and you don't care about wireless, which one has the better build quality and feel?
Got my keychron k2v2 and (despite no hotswap) I actually silicone mold modded it and brush lubed it without desoldering, and it sounds amazing now! Very deep and thocky. I think I've brought out close to the full potential of this keyboard. I agree though that it's not the best for modability, but you can still do it and it's totally worth it!
Akko or the Ep84 is better than Keychron to be honest. Keychron products is trash imo, eg. terrible stabilizers, cheap and horrendous ABS keycaps, no software, RGB light is weak and dim.
@@rahulbiji9018 Aye a very wise choice I might say. You'll just need a good pack of new switches for replacement since the stock switches on RK84 is not that good.
So I'm new to the thoccing community but does this mean you can't change the switches at all or you just have to get different version of the gat switches
Hot swapable means that u can take the gatoron or whatever switches off and on this keyboard is no hottswappable which means that u can’t change switches
Someone has issues with this Keyboard at the time to use it to play? I used to play league of legends with it, but sometimes does not recognized the push keys
The spacebar really is a let down. I just got it, but going to return it. It just messes up the overall feel. Also I think the Red Switches are way too soft and smooth for typing. Lastly, the keyboard is quite high, so it might be difficult for some to find the right angle. Maybe check the K3 for a lower profile one.
I was looking at the Logitech Mechanical MX, $150. Yeowch. For $50 I got the K2 v2 instead. it's fantastic, and it has one of my favorite features, built in screen shot button which I use extensively. This is the non-RGB, brown key version which is an Amazon choice and while it has lightening effects, the only thing I want it to do is show the keys and even with my vision issues, I can see it well.
that intro tho
ive been binge watching your videos since i ordered a rk61 online. this channel deserves a million subs for its quality reviews
That intro was so funny. When you just got suddenly serious. And the sound effect🤣🤣 ctr keeps getting better at this
Damn that intro, appreciate the efforts you put through every video!
Love from the Philippines🇵🇭
Breathtaking intro. It made me make a first comment on YT. Much love from Kenya. Typing this on the RK84
So glad you enjoyed!!!
So glad I watched this. I almost didn’t realize I ordered the non hotswappable version. Got it returned and the hot swap board shows up tomorrow, thank you!
i love how you named the first section "Epicness", great vid
intro legitimately made me laugh. “thats hilarious, but the keychron k2 v2 is no laughing matter.” *intense music*
lets goo, have been waiting for this banger video i saw your story you said you dropped it and it was still functioning lol!

did you get it from amazon?
Intro cracked me up and then you pulling out that massive knife out killed me 🤣🤣
like that format and would love to see gaming headset reviews by you
That knife is too op for the unboxing 😂😂😂
Keychron K2v2 or Royal Kludge Rk84? 👉🏼👈🏼 Base on Quality and Price?
Keychron is overpriced for what it can offer while RK is excellent for it price.
@@huunhanle3809 thank you bro
What are the peripherials you have around the keyboard? Love the wrist rest and the mat that you have it all on.
when i first sawyor vids i yhougt you had like 500k subs, but no.... you deserve way more subs
Great review! super nice intro and the part of the coffe made me laugh, great as always, mind making a review of the EVGA Z15?
That keyboard sounds frickin amazing
That intro made me go from smiling to a serious face in a blink of an eye 😂
that intro was intens also i like the wood rist rest, uniqe and cool
This is me being shallow, But I find it frustrating they only have this one color combination. I’m personally not a fan of it and I’d prefer a plain white one like the RK84. I will hand it to them the color combo is iconic to them now.
More Keychron reviews please 😁... Love your reviews! 🇵🇭
Just got it and it really awesome as what you introduced !!!
Subbed because you're funny! Haha.

Man you are so underrated hope you do well
That intro makes me wish your Channel had two subscribe buttons 😀😊
I'm from France btw. We are watching you too! Keep it up
This man made me laugh in the first ten seconds of the video
Is this keyboard for gaming too?
damn the review was just damn but i am confused in what i should buy? keychron k2 v2 or keychron k6
Nice video! Can you elaborate more on how much better the k2 feels vs the rk84. You said it feels better but didn’t explain in what way.

Im in the same boat, what did u got k2 or rk84?
@@al98708 I ended up getting the rk84, I got both and return the k2 ;) I also Change the caps to more grippy and love it!
@@AlfaMedtech do you know any black and white or black and gray that are good for this keyboard?
@@al98708 hyper x have some black and white key caps. Those are the one I use, and they are 500% better, also I have 599 subs if you want to be the 600
Is this any good for gaming? Also the keyboard looks really tall. Is it going to hurt my wrist if I use it without a wrist rest?
Nice review! Thanks to you I bought a tecware pahntom 87 and it is amazing!
I watched for the keyboard, but subbed for the bowie knife
That knife is overkill 😂😂
That knife!! Who are you supposed to be? Rambo?
That knife is cool!
You should make a comparison of this and the rk84! Great Vid!
Love that idea!
That spacebar sounds amazing *THOCK*
the intro is 🔥🔥
Thanks!
Love the knife
Like the new intro.
Does it work on linux, if not are womier Keebs good?
The K2v2 works great on Linux. Using one (wired) on a desktop running Arch and one (using bluetooth) a couple of Raspberry Pi's (RPiOS/Ubuntu).
Gotta love the nice looking guy with a massive knife
Best intro ever
What one u recommended..?
K2 or the rk84
K2
For rgb do you recommend rk84 or LTC Nimbleback?
Definitely LTC!
@@ConsumerTechReview is 2.4 ghz available for this?
U said this keyboards gonna be used mainly by typists and not gamers, I wanna game on it, is it good for that? Love your vids btw, they’re very informative

@@ConsumerTechReview thanks so much!!
Can I play this with my ps4 and get no delay? And also is Amazon the only website that’s selling this?
the knife is amazing....is it a Rambo Knife 🙂 perfect opener
Looking forward to a Q1 review!
Absolutely! Unfortunately Keychron didn't send me it for release...but I'm definitely going to try to!
I think keychron released a hotswap version of the k2v2! I had to decide between the k2 and the RK84 but ultimately went with the RK for better portability.
I think I’ll go with RK84 also? Cheaper and Hotswappable and the case is removable and can be customize.
@@pengu1n393 the k2v2 also has hot-swappable version
@@vrenanonical9108 Yah I know, but rk84 is more flexible, I think? and cheaper as I said. The shroud also can be customize because it's removable.
@@pengu1n393 the rk84 has issues with software and just stopping working after a few years. K2 just sounds better too.
@@stephenfaulkner1965 My rk84 still working with software as of now, 10 months old. I hope it wont stop working. 😅
I am confused between k2v2 hot swappable vs k2 pro , can you please suggest me which one to get ?

How about Bluetooth issue?
My k2v2 works very bad via Bluetooth, it's connected for a few seconds and lost connection, again and again
Good format - top 10s are a good watch
The best in this video it's the Bowie knife you using. The plastic be afraid and open before the knife touching it. 🤪

There is a version of K2V2 that comes with hotswap :)
there is a k2v2 that is hot swappable right?
yes there is
That joke in the intro made me sub
which would u choose between this, akko 3084 and epomaker ep-84?
Akko or the Ep84 is better than Keychron to be honest. Keychron products is trash imo, eg. terrible stabilizers, cheap and horrendous ABS keycaps, no software, RGB light is weak and dim.
@@huunhanle3809 thanks. but i think i might go for the royal kludge rk84.
@@rahulbiji9018 Aye a very wise choice I might say. You'll just need a good pack of new switches for replacement since the stock switches on RK84 is not that good.
Which version is this? Red?

Hot swapable means that u can take the gatoron or whatever switches off and on this keyboard is no hottswappable which means that u can’t change switches
What desk do you use
Is this 8:35 version Keychron K2 (Hot-swappable) or Keychron K2 Wireless Mechanical ?
I’m obsessed with the Rambo knife😍
your reviews are the best
Which part is best? The four or five times he says "quite good" about everything? LOL. Needs new material.
Im looking for gaming keyboard to use on Mac and windows ,My Computer doest have Bluetooth
What switches are they?
damn that knife its huge
is it hot swappable?
Rk84 is still better imo. This has got the brand name though
Someone has issues with this Keyboard at the time to use it to play? I used to play league of legends with it, but sometimes does not recognized the push keys

Have you use a wrist rest when using these taller keyboards to change the typing angle to something more comfortable.
Can you do a rakk tandus review?
Yo this dude brought sword 🤣 into unboxing
K2 V2 has a hot swap version too. Just letting you guys know, in case anyone's interested in changing the switches later.
You should do a review on this atrix rgb keyboard
was looking at this for gaming….
I looked up this brand but didn’t see rgb. Bummer as I settled on the Drevo Naga after trying five budget keyboards.
Do a review of the venatos northern glow
that knife shocked me wtf
Is this a gaming keyboard
what switches???
Gataron Red I think
@@imjusttoobored 2 years late but Thanks!
0:08 cant decide if cringe or dad joke, still funny^^
one thing i hate about keychron : the heights. why do they always make such a tall keyboard?
This or the rk84?
If only the type c port was on the top or at least the right side I would get this
What keyboard mat is that
that knife doe
Review the tecware phantom L (low profile) please
